To my beloved youth

We are the medium of change

Today
I address you…yes you, the one who call themselves the youth of Pakistan. I am
directly referring to the people who have lost their loved ones in terrorist
activities, ones who are or have ever been bullied, abused, harassed just
because of their nationality, the ones who are alone and feel like they don’t
fit in, those who are jobless or going through severe turmoil and planning to
abandon their nation just as the nation abandoned them.

Listen
to me carefully! I entered this world helpless, vulnerable and many predicted
that my survival was almost impossible but in contrary to their beliefs, I
survived. It was indeed a roller coaster ride, as the nation once respected
became the most dangerous. But all of it is a mere facade created to demoralize
us because our country is unique for several notable reasons which rarely or
never get the attention they deserve in world media.

You
may feel like your life is at a stand still, like nothing is even worth it as
that is all you witness but it won’t go on forever. I don’t care if we are
Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi or Pathan; you deserve to wake up every morning and smile.
No one has the right to judge you or to tell you that you are not good enough.
There are no good and bad leaders, only good and bad people who advise those
leaders so do voice your opinion. If there is something you think is not going
right, share your views and let the world know how you feel about it but do it
all productively. You aren’t going to get justice through fueling tires and
taking innocent lives. Make sure that whatever road you choose, it is the one
you can live with. Be brave to take chances and don’t ever miss opportunities.
It might change your life in a way you have never imagined. If you don’t take
some calculated risks in life, you will never get to where you want to be.

I
promise you this that everything will fit into place and you will finally be
able to see me reaching heights again but only if you work hard and never
differentiate among your fellow Pakistanis. Every day is a new day and no
matter what is wrong, there is always an answer. Keep going and never
ever give up on me or on yourself.
